When the rats are bailing out   And you are just signing on   Then you turned and walked away   There is no love lost here, my friend      But you have made a great mistake   You ate the hook, the sink and bait   Now you can't get out   It's much too late      The ship of fools keep sailing on   The ship of fools keep sailing on   And on and on and on      But I can be merciless for sure   And you'll sail for many moons   I can't believe you lost your mind   I'll watch you falling down, again      You have been living in a dream   And I can hear the same old theme   But nothing's ever what it seems      The ship of fools keep sailing on   The ship of fools keep sailing on   The ship of fools keep sailing on   And on and on and on      The truth is always hard to face   Especially when you are in that place,   Like the ship of fools      The ship of fools keep sailing on   The ship of fools keep sailing on   The ship of fools keep sailing on   And on and on and on      The ship of fools keep sailing on   The ship of fools keep sailing on   The ship of fools keep sailing on   And on and on and on
